Chapter 1219 Midnight Sniping
After the three of them had eaten something and drunk some wine, they all went to sleep on the floor, curled up together.
However, it also soon dawned, the rain stopped and it was sunny.
After Leo had slept slightly for a few hours, he climbed up first, and then he took his telescope to the top of the mountain again.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
He collected the grenades from the ambush first, came to the east side, got down on the ground and looked down the hill.
Last night’s vision with the binoculars wasn’t very good, and he could see perfectly well when he used them again at this time.
About three hundred metres ahead there was a small hut with several people coming out and going in, and a female inside.
However, they all had guns on their backs and it seemed that these men must be pirates.
Leo decided to start attacking these people at night and then capture one or two alive and ask for clarification.
Leo then returned to the hole, where the two of them were still sleeping, and he too lay down on the ground to rest and refresh himself for the night’s battle.
…
At nine o’clock in the evening, Leo wanted to put away the grenades on the stone steps, but he thought about it for a moment and dared not.
Because the pirates were searching the mountain for them on a large scale within the last two days, and with the speedboat below, it was easy to invite the pirates up to the rock level to look for them.
If they come up to round up, they will trip on their feet on the fishing line and will blow up some people.
It caused them to not dare to come up easily, so that they could buy themselves time to leave this deserted island.
So instead of collecting the grenades on the stone steps, Leo re-planted several more grenades around the hole in the skylight.
After thAt, he and Harriet and Red Rose went to the top of the hill by the cypress pines.
Leo untied the rope, tied one end of the rope to a thick cypress pine and threw the other end of the rope down the hill.
Then Leo asked Harriet worriedly, “Do you dare to go down? Shouldn’t be afraid of heights, right?”
Under the moonlight, Harriet’s face was miserable white and her body was somewhat shivering, she smiled and said, “A little, but it’s okay, I think I should be okay.”
When faced with a valley more than 100 metres deep, people who have not normally taken part in training do not have the courage to do so and may faint in fear.
Leo smiled and encouraged, “Harriet, don’t be afraid! I’ll use a rope to tie it around your waist first, then the other end of the rope will be tied around Red Rose’s waist, so even if you faint from fear, you’ll be fine. I’ll go down first, then you’ll be second, with Red Rose at the end, I think.”
Having said that, Leo used his sabre to cut a section of about ten metres of rope in another unraveled bundle.
Then one end was tied dead to Harriet’s waist and the other end was tied dead to Red Rose’s waist.
Red Rose laughed loudly, “Miss Wallace, you can sleep in peace, I can bear five hundred pounds on my waist.”
On hearing this, Harriet’s face looked much better.
Soon after, Leo also tied a rope to the ends of his heavy machine gun and carried it on his back.
He was the first to grab the rope and climb down, followed by Harriet, who was trembling at first, but Red Rose kept cheering her on.
Then, gradually Harriet did not feel afraid anymore.
As she slid down a dozen metres or so, she found some fun and instead slid faster and faster, causing Red Rose to call out desperately from above, “Slow down, Miss Wallace, slow down …”
The speed at which Leo grabbed the rope and slid down was really fast, and in a moment he was at the bottom of the valley.
Leo then removed his heavy machine gun from his back and looked around, fearing that the pirates would come round.
It was a while before Harriet reached the bottom of the valley, followed by Red Rose coming down.
Leo immediately used his saber and cut the ropes around their waists, looking at a flushed face of Harriet, Leo smiled, “You’ve improved.”
Harriet laughed, “It is fun, no wonder so many people in this world like mountaineering, I want to do it again.”
Suddenly there was an explosion of a grenade from above the peak, the explosion sounding like thunder in the sky in the still night air.
Leo immediately said, “Quick, get out of here, the pirates will be throwing grenades here soon.”
After saying that, Leo led them both to run a few dozen metres to the left and ducked into the jumble of trees and woods.
Harriet said, “Mr. Cohen, it’s lucky you buried the grenade, otherwise the rope we grabbed would have been cut by them long ago.”
Leo said, “We’re about to start into battle, you two just ambush here, aim your guns at the pirates who grab the rope above and slide down, no need to shoot too early. One shot when you see them nearing the ground. I’ll go and snipe the pirates coming from the huts, when that happens, I’ll come and get the two of you.”
At these words, the two men immediately agreed
Just as Leo was about to stand up, a few grenades did come down from above, but they exploded before they could be thrown to the bottom of the valley.
At a glance, Leo understood that the purpose of the grenade still coming down from the top of the hill was to tell the pirates in the village that there was a situation here and to send reinforcements to surround them quickly.
There must have been quite a few people on the hill, and if there were not a large number alive they would have either blown up or retreated long ago.
Next, there must have been quite a few people coming from the village, and Leo decided to take out a batch of them beforehand.
Immediately, Leo ran wildly towards the village, and after running about two hundred metres, he saw a large rock by the roadside.
Then Leo climbed up to this rock and hid behind it.
By the light of the moon, Leo could see that beneath the stone was a path.
The path was about two metres wide and on the opposite side of this path was the muddy pond and swampy land.
If the pirates had come over, they would have passed this way.
When they came over, Leo would choose to attack from behind, pounding away with heavy machine gun fire.
Harriet and Red Rose found it funny when they saw a few grenades explode in mid-air.
So the two of them separated and ambushed in the grass. They also discussed the method of fighting, Red Rose shot the first person who slid down and Harriet shot the second one, so as to avoid two people shooting one person at the same time, to save bullets and also to fight the pirates effectively.
So they both waited, sniper rifles raised, in silence, for the man who slid down from the top of the rope.
A moment later, they both noticed the rope swaying gently, and in the moonlight, they did see a man sliding down, then another immediately afterwards.
Dozens of people slid down the rope.
Harriet secretly admired Leo again, “Mr. Cohen is worthy of being the Commander of Wyverns.”
The pirates were also sliding down fast, and it was clear from their skilled sliding speed that this was a well-trained group of men.
When one of the pirates at the bottom was about to slide down to the ground, Red Rose fired decisively, the bullet hit him in the head and the pirate who had been shot fell straight down without even making a sound.
Harriet followed suit and fired a second shot, the pirate was shot in the head and he too fell straight down from a height of over ten metres to his death.
